Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Domink Stansbury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Barton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stansbury kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Me Against The World. Barton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 126 que. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Domink Stansbury has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
